Does Dependency Property implement Flyweight Pattern?

Question

Is the dependency property system in WPF the Flyweight Pattern applied to save memory storage?

Answer 1

I believe you could consider it as an implementation of the flyweight pattern yes.

Default values are shared across all controls of the same type. Only those properties that deviate from the default values take up extra memory.
